Family travel isn’t as much about the destination but the journey and the memories we’ve made over the years on road trips are some of our very favourite – chaos and all! We love jetting off to unique international destinations, but also love the freedom of road travel and not having to venture far to enjoy memorable experiences as a family with the convenience of
DadChef and I just celebrated our 17th Anniversary (*28 years of couplehood*). Amidst a very fast and full family life, being the “forgot my hockey equipment” fetchers, viral laundry load washers, last minute grocery-getters, “can’t find my library book” finders, and Mom/Dad Uber-drivers, time and energy for romance is beyond minimal.

Tis’ the season for creating and connecting in La Cucina! Looking back on your festive food favourites, it’s DOLCI all the way! I like your sty [*new lingo I picked up from teenville ;)*] I read a meme somewhere that said “kids won’t remember what food was made over the holidays” – I am THAT kid and I remember EVERYTHING about the full sensory delight
Our Ponzo-dillas™ Sheet Pan Recipe was born from Quesadilla night gone bust when the chicken and Mexicana ingredients I thought we had on hand, well, weren’t. All good – pizza toppings were stocked and this one worked out well.

❤️SAN DIEGO AMORE: Tastes of Italy Family Adventure in SoCal❤️ San Diego was one of my primo fave spots in Southern California (‘SoCal‘) for SO many reasons – the phenomenal food scene, the sky-high palms dotting the avenues, the mesmerizing sunsets and the Cali-cool SD vibe.
